Description

GONDOLE A MONTANTS REGLABLES GONDOLA WITH ADJUSTABLE AMOUNTS
La présente invention est relative à une gondole pour l'achalandage de marchandises. La présente invention trouvera notamment son application dans les magasins et sera mise en œuvre chez les fabricants d'équipements et de mobiliers pour la Grande Distribution.The present invention relates to a gondola for the traffic of goods. The present invention will find its application in stores and will be implemented among manufacturers of equipment and furniture for mass distribution.
L'utilisation des gondoles est très répandue dans les magasins pour exposer les articles de tailles diverses ; l'exposition des articles se fait de manière générale sur les deux faces, avant et arrière, de la gondole, hormis pour les gondoles disposées au contact d'une surface murale. La gondole à deux faces comprend au moins deux montants verticaux disposés à ses extrémités latérales, lesdits montants étant éventuellement fixés sur une embase renforçant la stabilité de ladite gondole. Chaque montant reçoit sur sa face avant et sur sa face arrière au moins une console, ayant une longueur définie, qui s'étend perpendiculairement vers l'avant ou vers l'arrière de la gondole ; la combinaison de quatre consoles disposées sur les faces avant et arrière des deux montants verticaux permettant le support d'une étagère sur laquelle sont exposées les marchandises.The use of gondolas is widespread in stores to display items of various sizes; the exposure of the articles is generally on both sides, front and rear, of the gondola, except for the gondolas arranged in contact with a wall surface. The two-sided gondola comprises at least two vertical uprights arranged at its lateral ends, said uprights possibly being fixed on a base reinforcing the stability of said gondola. Each upright receives on its front face and on its rear face at least one bracket, having a defined length, extending perpendicularly towards the front or rear of the gondola; the combination of four consoles arranged on the front and rear of the two vertical uprights for the support of a shelf on which the goods are exposed.
La surface de l'étagère est limitée et permet donc d'exposer un nombre plus ou moins important d'articles selon leur volume dont dépend également la masse. Cela nécessite, par conséquent, de modifier la surface d'étalage, et donc d'augmenter, en proportion équivalente, la longueur des consoles qui supportent ladite étagère et la charge desdits articles. Pour cela, il est nécessaire de modifier les dimensions des consoles et d'augmenter l'épaisseur de la structure des consoles et la hauteur de leur pied qui se fixe sur le montant. Cette conception a également pour inconvénient d' augmenter les contraintes de flexion sur les montants verticaux, qui doivent, de ce fait, être compensées par une augmentation de la section desdits montants verticaux.The surface of the shelf is limited and therefore allows to expose a more or less important number of articles according to their volume which also depends on the mass. This therefore requires modifying the display surface, and therefore increasing, in equivalent proportion, the length of the brackets which support said shelf and the load of said articles. For that, it is necessary to modify the dimensions of the consoles and to increase the thickness of the structure of the consoles and the height of their foot which is fixed on the amount. This design also has the disadvantage of increasing the bending stresses on the uprights, which must, therefore, be offset by an increase in the section of said uprights.
La présente invention vise à palier ces inconvénients et a pour but principal de concevoir une gondole à deux faces qui permet de modifier la surface des étagères pour l'adapter à la quantité et au volume des articles à exposer, en favorisant le travail en compression sur les montants plutôt que d'augmenter les contraintes de flexion, ce qui permet avantageusement de réduire leur section qui, de surcroît, travaille favorablement en compression.The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks and its main purpose is to design a double gondola which makes it possible to modify the surface of the shelves to adapt it to the quantity and the volume of the articles to be exhibited, by favoring the work in compression on the amounts rather than to increase the bending stresses, which advantageously makes it possible to reduce their section which, moreover, works favorably in compression.
A cet effet, l'invention propose une gondole pour l'étalage de marchandises, utilisable notamment dans les magasins, comprenant au moins deux montants verticaux disposés sur les côtés latéraux, chaque montant vertical recevant au moins deux consoles fixées perpendiculairement, dans le même plan, et en opposition sur ledit montant, l'une s' étendant vers l'avant de la gondole et l'autre vers l'arrière, les consoles des deux montants verticaux supportant une étagère qui présente une surface d' étalage sur laquelle sont disposées les marchandises, remarquable en ce lesdits montants verticaux se composent d'une double structure verticale réglable en largeur permettant de modifier la surface d' étalage en conservant les consoles d' origine et en concentrant la charge exercée par les marchandises sur la partie centrale de l'étagère et sur les montants pour favoriser le travail en compression.For this purpose, the invention proposes a gondola for the display of goods, usable especially in stores, comprising at least two vertical uprights arranged on the lateral sides, each upright receiving at least two brackets fixed perpendicularly, in the same plane , and in opposition to said post, one extending towards the front of the gondola and the other towards the rear, the consoles of the two vertical uprights supporting a shelf which has a display surface on which are arranged the goods, remarkable in that said vertical uprights consist of a double vertical structure adjustable in width to modify the display surface retaining the consoles of origin and concentrating the load exerted by the goods on the central part of the shelf and on the uprights to promote the work in compression.
D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront mieux de la description ci-dessous qui est donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :Other advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description, which is given by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
- la figure 1 représente une vue en perspective de la gondole selon l'invention,FIG. 1 represents a perspective view of the gondola according to the invention,
- la figure 2 représente une vue de côté de la gondole selon la figure 1,FIG. 2 represents a side view of the gondola according to FIG. 1,
La gondole 1 représentée sur la figure 1, et conforme à l'invention, comprend au moins deux montants verticaux 3, 5, disposés à ses extrémités latérales. Elle comprend éventuellement des montants verticaux supplémentaires 7, en fonction de la longueur souhaitée de ladite gondole 1 ; dans ce cas, les montants supplémentaires 7 sont convenablement répartis entre les deux montants verticaux latéraux 3, 5 et suivant une même disposition.The gondola 1 shown in Figure 1, and according to the invention, comprises at least two vertical uprights 3, 5, arranged at its lateral ends. It possibly comprises additional vertical uprights 7, depending on the desired length of said gondola 1; in this case, the additional uprights 7 are suitably distributed between the two lateral vertical uprights 3, 5 and following one and the same disposition.
Les montants 3, 5, 7 sont éventuellement solidaires d'une embase 9 qui contribue à la stabilité de la gondole 1 ; celle-ci est, de préférence, ajustable en fonction de la longueur souhaitée de la gondole, par exemple par ajout successif d'éléments d'embase qui s'adaptent et se fixent par juxtaposition aux éléments déjà en place. La gondole 1 présente deux faces avant et arrière permettant d'exposer des articles et d'y accéder de chaque côté de celle-ci.The amounts 3, 5, 7 are optionally secured to a base 9 which contributes to the stability of the gondola 1; it is preferably adjustable according to the desired length of the gondola, for example by successive addition of base elements that fit and are fixed by juxtaposition to the elements already in place. The gondola 1 has two front and rear faces for exposing articles and access to each side of it.
Les montants verticaux 3, 5 reçoivent chacun au moins deux consoles 11, 13, 15, 17 fixées sur leurs faces avant et arrière, en s' étendant perpendiculairement et dans des directions opposées. Les consoles 11, 13, 15, 17 sont, de préférence, de longueur identique, et disposées dans un même plan horizontal. Elles servent de support à une étagère 19 présentant une surface d'étalage sur laquelle sont disposées les marchandises qui exercent une charge soumettant les montants verticaux à des contraintes de flexion et de compression.The vertical uprights 3, 5 each receive at least two brackets 11, 13, 15, 17 fixed on their front and rear faces, extending perpendicularly and in opposite directions. The brackets 11, 13, 15, 17 are preferably of identical length and arranged in the same horizontal plane. They serve as a support for a shelf 19 having a display surface on which are placed the goods which exert a load subjecting the uprights to bending and compressive stresses.
Il s'avère parfois nécessaire de modifier la surface de l'étagère pour augmenter la capacité de stockage des marchandises, en fonction de leur volume et des besoins quantitatifs, évitant par exemple les réapprovisionnements trop fréquents et garantissant, en permanence, la mise à disposition des produits aux consommateurs. Pour cela, la gondole 1 objet de l'invention est remarquable en ce que les montants verticaux 3, 5, 7 se composent d'une double structure verticale à écartement réglable permettant de modifier et d'augmenter les dimensions de la surface d'étalage de l'étagère 19, en concentrant la charge sur les montants verticaux 3, 5, 7. Ainsi, on conserve tout d'abord les consoles d' origines qui servent au support de l'étagère 19, et ensuite on privilégie l'augmentation de charge sur la partie centrale de la surface d'étalage, à proximité des montants 3, 5, 7, ce qui favorise le travail en compression de la charge sur la double structure verticale des montants, et non le travail en flexion ; tandis que les gondoles, connues de l'art antérieur, nécessitent d'augmenter les dimensions des consoles et tendent à éloigner la charge des montants, d'où un accroissement du travail en flexion. Les montants verticaux 3, 5, 7 se composent d'une double structure verticale, de préférence de section carrée, dont les deux côtés verticaux de la structure 23, 25 sont amovibles et présentent un écartement λ modifiable en fonction de la surface souhaitée des étagères. Les montants comprennent des moyens de réglage 21 de l' écartement λ entre les deux côtés de la structure verticale 23, 25 qui permettent de modifier ledit écartement λ et de rigidifier les montants 3, 5, 7.It is sometimes necessary to modify the surface of the shelf to increase the capacity of storage of the goods, according to their volume and the quantitative needs, avoiding for example the replenishments too frequent and guaranteeing, constantly, the provisioning products to consumers. For this, the gondola 1 object of the invention is remarkable in that the uprights 3, 5, 7 consist of a double vertical structure with adjustable spacing to change and increase the size of the display surface of the shelf 19, concentrating the load on the vertical uprights 3, 5, 7. Thus, it retains first of all the brackets of origins that serve to support the shelf 19, and then we favor the increase load on the central portion of the display surface, close to the amounts 3, 5, 7, which promotes the work in compression of the load on the double vertical structure of the uprights, and not the work in bending; while gondolas, known from the prior art, require to increase the dimensions of the consoles and tend to move the load of the amounts, resulting in an increase in flexural work. The vertical uprights 3, 5, 7 consist of a double vertical structure, preferably of square section, whose two vertical sides of the structure 23, 25 are removable and have a spacing λ modifiable according to the desired surface of the shelves . The uprights comprise means 21 for adjusting the spacing λ between the two sides of the vertical structure 23, 25 which make it possible to modify said spacing λ and stiffen the uprights 3, 5, 7.
Cette conception permet avantageusement de diminuer la section de la double structure des montants 3, 5, 7 qui travaille favorablement en compression, plutôt qu'en flexion ; on réduit ainsi la quantité de matière utilisée, et on renforce la stabilité de la gondole 1. On utilise par exemple un montant 3, 5, 7 composé d'une structure de section carrée de trente millimètres par trente millimètres (30 x 30 mm2), alors qu'un montant habituel de l'art antérieur nécessite une section de l'ordre de quatre vingt dix millimètres par quatre vingt dix millimètres (90 x 90 mm2) . La double structure verticale d'un montant 3, 5, 7 est disposée latéralement sur la gondole 1, le premier côté de la structure 23 étant positionné sur la face avant 27 de la gondole et le second côté de la structure 25 sur la face arrière 29, leur positionnement présentant un écartement λ. Les côtés 23, 25 reçoivent respectivement les consoles avant 11, 13 et arrière 15, 17 qui s'étendent perpendiculairement et dans des directions opposées vers les faces avant 27 et arrière 29 de la gondole 1.This design advantageously reduces the section of the double structure of the amounts 3, 5, 7 which works favorably in compression, rather than bending; the amount of material used is thus reduced, and the stability of the gondola 1 is increased. For example, an amount 3, 5, 7 composed of a square section structure of thirty millimeters by thirty millimeters (30 × 30 mm 2) is used. ), whereas a usual amount of the prior art requires a section of the order of ninety millimeters by ninety millimeters (90 x 90 mm 2 ). The double vertical structure of an amount 3, 5, 7 is disposed laterally on the gondola 1, the first side of the structure 23 being positioned on the front face 27 of the gondola and the second side of the structure 25 on the rear face 29, their positioning having a spacing λ. The sides 23, 25 respectively receive the front consoles 11, 13 and rear 15, 17 which extend perpendicularly and in opposite directions towards the front 27 and rear 29 of the gondola 1.
Les moyens de réglage 21 se composent, selon un mode préféré de réalisation, de jeux d' entretoises 31, 32, 33, rigides, dont les différentes longueurs des entretoises correspondent aux différents écartements λ que peuvent avoir les doubles structures verticales des montants et permettent ainsi d'effectuer ledit réglage de l'écartement ; ces longueurs dépendent des différentes dimensions des étagères 19. Selon un mode préférentiel, on utilise deux jeux 31, 33 d' entretoises, disposés aux extrémités supérieure et inférieure des montants verticaux. Les entretoises sont fixées horizontalement sur les faces internes 35, 37 des deux côtés de la structure 23, 25 de chaque montant 3, 5, 7.The adjustment means 21 consist, according to a preferred embodiment, of sets of spacers 31, 32, 33, rigid, the different lengths of the spacers correspond to the different spacings λ that can have the double vertical structures of the uprights and thus allow said adjustment of the spacing; these lengths depend on the different dimensions of the shelves 19. According to a preferred embodiment, two sets 31, 33 of spacers are used, arranged at the upper and lower ends of the vertical uprights. The spacers are fixed horizontally on the inner faces 35, 37 of the two sides of the structure 23, 25 of each upright 3, 5, 7.
La rigidité des entretoises contribue au renfort des montants à double structure ; ces entretoises servent également, en complément des consoles, de support d'étagère. Pour cela, chaque montant 3, 5, 7 dispose, de préférence, d'autant de jeux d' entretoises intermédiaires 32 que d'étagères 19 de présentation des articles, les entretoises étant disposées à des hauteurs identiques à celles des consoles.The rigidity of the spacers contributes to the reinforcement of the double-structure uprights; these spacers are also used, in addition to the brackets, shelf support. For this, each amount 3, 5, 7 preferably has as many sets of intermediate spacers 32 as shelves 19 for presenting articles, the spacers being arranged at heights identical to those of the consoles.
Les côtés 23, 25 comprennent, de préférence sur chacune de leurs faces, des orifices (non représentés) répartis uniformément sur toute la hauteur des montants, susceptibles de coopérer avec des crochets (non représentés) disposés sur l'extrémité arrière 39 des consoles et sur les extrémités 41, 43 des entretoises rigides, pour permettre leur fixation.The sides 23, 25 comprise, preferably on each of their faces, orifices (not shown) uniformly distributed over the entire height of the uprights, capable of cooperating with hooks (not shown) disposed on the rear end 39 of the brackets and on the ends 41, 43 rigid spacers, to allow their attachment.
Selon une variante de conception, les moyens de réglage 21 de l'écartement entre les deux côtés de la double structure verticale 23, 25 sont constitués par des entretoises réglables en longueur en fonction de l'écartement λ désiré. Les entretoises sont, par exemple, constituées de deux demi-barres rigides (non représentées) montées en glissière l'une par rapport à l'autre et munies de moyens d'arrêt en translation. Les deux demi-barres ont leur première extrémité 41, 43 en forme de crochet qui s'emboîte et se fixe dans un orifice sur la face interne 35, 37 de l'un ou l'autre des deux côtés 23, 25 du montant 3, 5, 7, et leur seconde extrémité montée à coulisseau et rigidifié l'une par rapport l'autre, par exemple, par boulonnage ou par une goupille. Cette conception permet avantageusement de modifier la longueur des entretoises et de la régler en fonction de l' écartement λ recherché, et ainsi utiliser un seul type d' entretoise pour toutes les dimensions d'étagères qu'est susceptible de recevoir la gondole. L'étagère 19 se compose, selon un mode préférentiel de réalisation, de trois éléments adjacents 45, 47, 49, de type plateau ou tablette, qui constituent la surface d'étalage des articles. Les deux tablettes extrêmes 45, 47 sont disposées sur la face avant 27 et sur la face arrière 29 de la gondole 1, l'une 47 reposant sur les consoles avant 11, 13 et l'autre 45 sur les consoles arrière 15, 17. Ces deux tablettes extrêmes 45, 47 présentent une profondeur qui correspond à la longueur des consoles 11, 13, 15, 17. Le troisième élément 49, central et amovible, est constitué, selon ce premier mode de réalisation, par une gamme de tablettes, interchangeables, de différentes dimensions, permettant de modifier les dimensions de la surface d'étalage de l'étagère 19. Cette gamme de tablettes 49 est adaptée au jeu d' entretoises, chaque tablette de la gamme correspondant à une entretoise particulière du jeu.According to a variant of design, the adjustment means 21 of the spacing between the two sides of the double vertical structure 23, 25 are constituted by spacers adjustable in length as a function of the desired spacing λ. The spacers are, for example, consist of two rigid half-bars (not shown) mounted in a slide relative to each other and provided with stopping means in translation. The two half-bars have their first end 41, 43 in the form of a hook that fits and is fixed in an orifice on the inner face 35, 37 of one or the other of the two sides 23, 25 of the amount 3 , 5, 7, and their second end slidably mounted and stiffened relative to each other, for example, by bolting or by a pin. This design advantageously makes it possible to modify the length spacers and adjust it according to the desired spacing λ, and thus use a single type of spacer for all the shelf dimensions that can be received the gondola. The shelf 19 is composed, according to a preferred embodiment, of three adjacent elements 45, 47, 49, tray or tablet type, which constitute the display surface of the articles. The two end shelves 45, 47 are disposed on the front face 27 and on the rear face 29 of the gondola 1, one 47 resting on the front brackets 11, 13 and the other 45 on the rear consoles 15, 17. These two extreme shelves 45, 47 have a depth which corresponds to the length of the brackets 11, 13, 15, 17. The third element 49, central and removable, consists, according to this first embodiment, by a range of shelves, interchangeable, of different sizes, to change the dimensions of the display surface of the shelf 19. This range of tablets 49 is adapted to the set of spacers, each shelf of the range corresponding to a particular spacer game.
Ainsi, on modifie la surface d'une gondole 1 en retirant l'élément central 49 de l'étagère 19 et les entretoises 31, 32, 33 disposées sur les montants verticaux 3, 5, 7, puis en modifiant l'écartement λ, par la mise en place des entretoises 31, 32, 33 correspondant à l'écartement λ désiré, et enfin en positionnant la tablette centrale 49 de surface correspondant aux dimensions des entretoises 31, 33 mises en place. Selon une variante de conception, l'élément central de l'étagère 19 est constitué d'une tablette centrale 49 réglable en profondeur pour modifier les dimensions de sa surface en rapport avec celles de l'étagère. Dans ce cas, la tablette 49 est composée de deux éléments 51, 53 montés en liaison glissière l'un par rapport à l'autre, permettant d'adapter la profondeur de ladite tablette 49 en fonction de l'écartement λ recherché.Thus, the surface of a gondola 1 is modified by removing the central element 49 from the shelf 19 and the spacers 31, 32, 33 arranged on the vertical uprights 3, 5, 7, and then by changing the spacing λ, by placing the spacers 31, 32, 33 corresponding to the desired spacing λ, and finally by positioning the central tablet 49 of surface corresponding to the dimensions of the spacers 31, 33 put in place. According to a variant of design, the central element of the shelf 19 consists of a central shelf 49 adjustable in depth to change the dimensions of its surface in relation to those of the shelf. In this case, the tablet 49 is composed of two elements 51, 53 mounted in sliding connection with respect to each other, to adapt the depth of said tablet 49 according to the desired spacing λ.
Selon un mode de réalisation, les tablettes extrêmes 45, 47, ainsi que la tablette centrale 49 réglable ou constituée d'une gamme, comprennent sur leurs côtés latéraux 55, 57 des moyens de fixation (non représentés), par exemple du type crochets, qui s'adaptent sur les consoles 11, 13, 15, 17 et sur les jeux d' entretoises 31, 32, 33, afin de permettre leur support et leur maintien en position lorsque la gondole est assemblée.According to one embodiment, the tablets 45, 47, as well as the central shelf 49 adjustable or consisting of a range, comprise on their lateral sides 55, 57 fixing means (not shown), for example of the hook type, which fit on the brackets 11 , 13, 15, 17 and on the sets of spacers 31, 32, 33 to allow their support and their holding in position when the gondola is assembled.
Selon un mode préférentiel de réalisation, l'extrémité inférieure des montants verticaux 3, 5, 7 se termine en forme de pieds 59, 61, l'un 59 solidaire du côté de la structure 23 et s' étendant perpendiculairement vers l'avant 27 de la gondole 1, et l'autre 61 solidaire du côté de la structure 25 et s' étendant perpendiculairement vers l'arrière 29. Ces pieds 59, 61 contribuent, seuls ou en combinaison avec l'embase 9 sur laquelle ils sont fixés, à renforcer la stabilité de la gondole 1.According to a preferred embodiment, the lower end of the vertical uprights 3, 5, 7 ends in the form of feet 59, 61, one 59 secured to the side of the structure 23 and extending perpendicularly to the front 27 of the gondola 1, and the other 61 secured to the side of the structure 25 and extending perpendicularly to the rear 29. These feet 59, 61 contribute, alone or in combination with the base 9 on which they are fixed, to enhance the stability of the gondola 1.
Ainsi, les moyens de réglages de la gondole 1 selon l'invention permettent de modifier l'écartement entre les deux côtés verticaux de la structure 23, 25 et servent également de support de la tablette centrale, le réglage étant mis en œuvre soit par remplacement de l' entretoise rigide par une autre de dimension différente, soit par ajustage de l' entretoise réglable à l'écartement souhaité.Thus, the adjustment means of the gondola 1 according to the invention make it possible to modify the spacing between the two vertical sides of the structure 23, 25 and also serve as support for the central shelf, the adjustment being implemented either by replacing the rigid spacer by another of different size, or by adjusting the spacer to the desired spacing.
D'autres modes de réalisation de la gondole pourront être envisagés par l'homme du métier sans pour autant sortir du cadre de la présente invention. Other embodiments of the gondola may be envisaged by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.
